A personally distraught mid-19th-century New York investigator (played by Tom Weston-Jones) is the main character in this drama, from executive producers Tom Fontana and Barry Levinson, that's garnered a lot of attention from its BBC America run.

The killing of his daughter fuels the sleuth's probe of another girl's murder, putting him at odds with some who think their high social standing will protect them.
